Cocktails & Connections
Join us for a curated evening designed to spark real conversation, collaboration, and new connections — bringing together marketing leaders, brand innovators, and creators.
At Popular Pays, we’re all about quality connections — the right match, not just any match. To kick off the night, we’ll pair you with a small group of marketers in your industry to help real relationships take root.
Then, we'll move into a panel conversation focused on connection, collaboration, and answering one of the biggest questions in our industry: How do you create the best creator campaign?
The panel will feature:
Shanika Hillocks – Marketing Thought Leader and Cultural Strategist
Sara O’Brien – Lightricks Team Lead, Enterprise Client Partnerships
Moderated by Josh Kaplan, Co-Founder & CEO of Smooth Media
Hosted on the Glass Terrace at Altair NYC— a beautiful enclosed glass terrace garden with a view. The evening will feature premium cocktails, light bites, and a panel packed with real expertise and actionable insights.
Space is limited so please RSVP — we hope you can join us!
